Related: About this forum(Jewish Group) Jewish Groups Protest Polish Guesthouse Ban on Jews
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!! RESPECT!!)The World Jewish Congress on Sunday announced it was deeply disturbed and disappointed by the Polish governments failure to intervene to remove a flagrantly anti-Semitic banner at the entrance to a guest house near the western city of Wroclaw, and to prosecute those responsible for posting it.
The sign at the Dom Polski (a Polish home) guest house in Cesarzowice declared: Entry forbidden to Jews, Commies, and all thieves and traitors of Poland, against a red and white backdrop, Polands national colors.
WJC CEO Robert Singer said that the sign conjures up memories of ghetto benches and other chilling manifestations of anti-Semitism in Poland in the late 1930s. Given Polands history, we would have expected the authorities to act forcefully and swiftly to put a stop to such activity, which is illegal and utterly contravenes the democratic norms Warsaw is committed to upholding.

Not surprised to see these kinds of things in Poland.
